Other currency than PLN

Scenario

When you are sending from a Polish company, you might need to issue the invoice in another currency than PLN. This can apply to:

  • invoices to customers outside Poland
  • Invoices to customers in Poland

In that case, information must be added:

  • The conversion rate PLN to the foreign currency
  • VAT amount expressed in 2 currencies:
    • total VAT amount in the currency of the invoice
    • total VAT amount in PLN
